Authorities: Ricocheted bullet meant for dog killed teen boy

She and the boy's mother went to two different hospitals looking for him, but could not find Garcia and returned home before learning he had died. The Los Angeles County sheriff's office said its policy is that officers are allowed to shoot at dogs if they "reasonably believe" they could be seriously injured or killed by the animal. When deputies moved closer they noticed the teen on the ground, wounded after being struck in the chest from a round that skipped off the ground.

The dog was also struck and taken for treatment by animal control. Bergener said on Thursday that deputies who fire a weapon while on duty are automatically put on temporary desk duty while the incident is under investigation.

The soon-to-be senior had recently transferred to R. Rex Parris High School "to get his credits up so he could graduate high school", Genevie Escobar, Armando's ex-girlfriend and one of his best friends, told BuzzFeed News.
